ILOM and ALOM CMT Command Comparison

The following table provides a command-by-command comparison between the command sets of ALOM
CMT and the default ILOM CLI command set. Only the supported ALOM CMT
command options are listed in the tables below. Where there are ALOM CMT
command-line arguments that have no corresponding ILOM properties, those ALOM CMT arguments have
been omitted. The command set of the ALOM compatibility shell provides a close
approximation of the equivalent commands and arguments (where supported) in ALOM CMT.

Note - By default, when displaying information ALOM CMT commands limit their output to a
terse format, offering more verbose output if a –v flag is supplied with
the command. ILOM’s show commands do not have a terse output format. These commands
always provide verbose output.

the showhost command with no option.

Displays a list of all user accounts and
permission levels, and whether passwords are assigned.

show /SP/users

useraddusername

Adds a user account
to ALOM CMT.

create /SP/users/username

userdel [–y] username

Deletes a user account from ALOM CMT. The
–y option enables you to skip the confirmation question.

delete [–script] /SP/users/username

userpassword [username]

Sets or changes a
user password.

set /SP/users/username password

userperm [username] [c] [u] [a] [r] [o] [s]

Summary

Comparable ILOM Command

showlogs -p [r|p] [–blines|–elines|–v] [–glines]

Displays the
history of all events logged in the event log, or major and critical
events in the event log. The –p option selects whether to display only major
and critical events from the event log (r) or to display all of
the events from the event log (p).

line_count=[lines] default value is "" (none), meaning there
is no limit to the total number of lines retrieved from the buffer.

lines displayed per pause.

Table 24 ALOM CMT Shell Status and Control Commands

ALOM CMT Command

Summary

Comparable ILOM Command

showenvironment

Displays the
environmental status of the host server. This information includes system temperatures, power supply status,
front panel LED status, hard disk drive status, fan status, voltage, and current
sensor status.

Downloads and updates system firmware (both
host firmware and ALOM CMT firmware). For ILOM, ipaddr must be a TFTP
server. If you use DHCP, you can replace ipaddr with the name of
the TFTP host.

The –y option enables you to skip the confirmation question.

The –c
option enables you to update system firmware on your server without preserving configuration
information.

After configuration information has been deleted (by having used the –c option
or the set/SPreset_to_defaults=factory command), you must use the –c option when replacing
system firmware that includes ILOM 3.0 with firmware that includes ILOM 2.0. If
you omit the –c option, the flashupdate command attempts to restore preserved configuration information,
halting the firmware downgrade because that configuration information is absent.

The –d option
gracefully resets the control domain.The –n option sets the auto-boot variable to disable (lasts
for one reset).The –y option enables you to skip the confirmation question.The –f option forces
a hardware reset.The –c option starts the console.

reset [-script][–force] /SYS

[start /SP/console]

[set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable]

reset [–script] [–force] /HOST/domain/control

[start /SP/console]

powercycle [–y] [–f]

poweroff followed by poweron. The
–f option forces an immediate poweroff, otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown.

stop [–script] [–force] /SYS

start [–script] [–force] /SYS

poweroff
[–y][–f]

Removes the main power from the host server. The –y option enables you
to skip the confirmation question. ALOM CMT attempts to shut the server down gracefully.
The –f option forces an immediate shutdown.

poweron

Applies the main power to the host
server or FRU.

start /SYS

setlocator [on/off]

to identify faulted components.

set /SYS/component clear_fault_action=true

showlocator

Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either
on or off.
